On the dark days...

Sometimes pipes burst and homes flood. You take one step forward and two steps back.

Sometimes the crisis ends just in time for a new one to begin.

Sometimes you have to gather up what you have and try not to dwell on what you don't.

Sometimes you have to find home in yourself and those you love, especially when there's no where else to go.

Sometimes you have to be selfless, you have to give up your freedom and your time to be there for someone else.

Sometimes the oldest and the wisest need the most support.

Sometimes you just need a good cry or a warm hug, not textbook phrases sprouted from the lips of a shrink.

Sometimes you just need a good nights sleep, and sometimes that's just not enough.

Sometimes you have to suck it up. And sometimes it's just too much.

Sometimes you get let down. But sometimes people surprise you.

Sometimes the ride is longer and a lot bumpier than you first expected.

Sometimes the things that make you happiest also cause your tears.

Sometimes...

when it rains, it pours.

But...

sunshine always follows the rain.
